It was some time ago, but I am just curious if anybody on here has my old car, I kind of miss it. The Reg is Y193 *** and is a Dolphin Grey N/A version. I saw it on Dec 29th at Armley Roundabout going towards the motorway. You went towards Wakefield once you got on the motorway. It's good to see my old motor still up and running presumably ok.

Indeed, that's the one, I relocated to Leeds a few years ago. It's been 6 years since I bought this one, to be honest there's still almost nothing I'd swap for :)

Looks great. I am just glad to see it up and running well. It was one of my favourite cars. I think they look great when it's sunny and there is a kind of pearlescent tint to it.

It had a good seeing to at Phoenix Motorsport a couple of months ago so I'd say it's actually running better than ever :) I'm not sure when the Powerflow exhaust was fitted but I found it way too loud so that was my first mod back in late 2006, swapping for a full Milltek system. Since then it's had new shocks, abs unit, radiator, in addition to the usual consumables. This year I might change the wheels for TDs and different tyres, it would be nice feel a change in the dynamics. I'm definitely resisting the temptation to supercharge it...well I think I am anyway... Cheers, Rob

Just when I thought the urge for a dolphin has gone this thread has reignited the :wub: for it.

has to be seen in the plastic to be really apreciated. but a black set of speedlines (a la Foxy) was one of the best vx combinations.

I got the Powerflow fitted since it was a cheap upgrade from the standard since I couldn't afford a Milltek, just wanted a bit of extra power out of the VX. I agree it was a bit too noisy though. Sounds great to me, although I would be interested to see how it does when charged. Do it! :D
